Thanks for the info.
I am normally a UK 8.5 unless the last is narrow, then I go for wider width or size up to 9.
I am the following size on the following lasts:
John Lobb 9795 - 8.5
Edward Green 606 & 202 - 8.5
Edward Green 808 - 9
G&G TG73 - 8.5
G&G Deco - 9

If i went for a 8.5 do you think they would be too large?

Actually, if your wear 8.5 on the 202 last, a 8.5 on Vilalta would fit just fine . In my case I wear 9.5 on EG Cardiff on the 202 and 9.5 Vilalta’s Derbies.
